The Business Skills for World Heritage programme is a collaboration between Earthwatch, UNESCO, Shell, and the Shell Foundation that seeks to help preserve some of the most beautiful and threatened places on Earth - natural World Heritage Sites. Through the programme, business planning experts from Shell team up with managers of Natural World Heritage Sites over 12 months to support them in designing and implementing business plans that will enhance effectiveness and financial stability of protected areas, ultimately benefitting wildlife and local communities. Earthwatch is currently seeking partners to expand the scope of this valuable programme to benefit more protected areas around the world.
